Opening Day at the Bridesburg APBA League Brian Cavanaugh sent me an update on the Bridesburg APBA League new season. It seems the league is really thriving and has now expanded to fifteen teams! “15 participants in the draft chose from a hat that contained 3 cards each labeled #’s…
John Hutcheson and I got into a extended discussion over twitter about the upcoming release of BBW 5.75 any possible compatibility issues. Since the previous version did have issues with running on 64-bit versions of Windows, John was understandably concerned. Never fear, I checked with John Herson and he assured…
Strat-o-Matic Baseball and APBA Soccer fan Paul Dylan who is the blogger over at One for Five took the plunge and tried out the APBA Baseball game. Not only that he documented it with a full-fledged review of the game. It’s a pretty even-handed review. While Paul points out the…

Geoff Giordano of APBA Football (a great resource for any APBA fan not just football buffs) on Facebook has posted a two-part series on thoughts from former APBA Journal editor and publisher Howard Ahlskog. APBA According to Ahlskog: Part 1 APBA According to Ahlskog: Part 2 Some interesting stuff there……
If haven’t seen the latest update on the APBA Company website written by CEO John Herson, I encourage you to read it. It has a lot of new information on the direction of the Company. Herson makes mention of the survey that The APBA Blog did a couple months ago…
